I’d like to play this game solo with the new(ish) CDG instructions. This requires all cards to be dealt face down. The current module deals all cards face up.
Is there a simple way of changing something in the module to force face down play? This would just be for me, not for publishing and keep in mind I know next to nothing about VASSAL and have very little editing experience. I did try to contact the creator but I think he has better things to do so I’m appealing for help here.
Edit the module, expand the Map [Map Window] node to drill down and find the Draw [Deck] component. Double-click it, untick this box:
Save the module. Now because this module has predefined setups, this edit alone is not sufficient. After you open the module for actual play and choose one of the setups from which to start the game, you have to run Tools → Refresh Counters to have your change applied to the predefined setup (which pre-dates your module edit and thus does not incorporate it).
You must enable one additional option beyond the refresher defaults–see what’s circled below:
Drawing from the deck should then result in facedown cards.
However, it now seems to be OK on all scenarios
Thanks for this
Andy
I can’t explain that. I’ve never had this module before, downloaded it for the first time to test and make sure the response I was about to give was accurate, and that box was ticked for me.
